Sideways rain (though you really can’t tell with these two legends), sand dunes and two very rad people. A lot of people ask why I gift these sessions to people before their weddings with me - the answer is really simple; not only are they loads of fun, but it gives us a chance to get to know each other before your wedding day …

After shooting their engagement, I was really looking forward to capturing Louise and Dirk’s wedding; they are such relaxed and genuine people, it was like meeting new friends when they told me about their plans over coffee.

Their wedding was an absolute blast - Irish dancing, sequinned dresses, crazy Australian Summer light and a beautiful Australian bush backdrop made it something really special.

An intimate family affair at the Gunners Barracks in Sydney. Two Aussies, Bridget and Nick, met in London. After years of building a life together and having two beautiful kids, they decided to make it official. Their gorgeous kids were front and centre at the ceremony and their wedding pictures together, and it was just perfect.

2018 has been an absolutely amazing year, and I have you guys to thank for that. You’ve invited me to share so many beautiful, crazy moments with you, and I’ve travelled to some of the most stunning places around Australia to do it.

Meaghan & Adam had a very personal wedding in the mountains, which included a beautiful ring-warming blessing by friends and family during the ceremony, not to mention Adam’s lovingly restored muscle car (what a sweet, sweet ride!).

“Shirin is not only and incredible photographer but a beautiful person as well. Her positive and warm energy made our wedding day comfortable and fun. Her photos are quite simply UNBELIEVABLE. We absolutely love them and everyone who see's them comments. Shirin will definitely be the person I go to capture all memories from now on.“

“Shirin finds the great balance of being warm and friendly, whilst completely professional. She can still take beautiful photographs whilst wrangling a large group of wedding guests! Her experience on our wedding day shone through; she knew how to engage with everyone and was always at the right place to capture a moment... looking at Shirin’s photographs bring back the feeling of the day perfectly.”
